A lifter is more of a tick than a knock. If it's holding good oil pressure especially after it's warmed up it's probably piston slap. A rod bearing doesn't usually stop knocking when warmed up. It CAN happen but not usual. If there's too much clearance in a cylinder the "knock" will be noticeable when the engine is cold but as it warms up the piston expands slightly and takes up the extra clearance. You may be using a little oil through that particular cylinder....especially during warm up. You may be able to find out by doing a compression check and comparing it to the other cylinders.
